How To Draw Annabelle
Do you want to learn how to create your own outlandish version of everyone’s favorite menacing doll, Annabelle? Then look no further. Because in this tutorial we will show you just how easy it is to draw the doll from her debut horror movie.
Follow the Basic Outline
The first step to sketching Annabelle is to draw her basic outline. The purpose of this is to have a rough sketch of her before you paint her in her signature colors. Begin with a pencil and a piece of paper. Draw an oval for the face with defined cheekbones on either side. Next, draw curved lines for her eyebrows and a small upside down U for her nose. Her eyes should be almond shaped with curved lashes on her eyelids. Follow the same steps for the right side of her face. To complete the head, draw an undulating curved line for her mouth.
Shape Her Hair
The next step is to bring life to Annabelle by giving her an unforgettable hairstyle. Start by drawing two simple curved lines that create her sideburns. Then add a triangular shape in the center of her forehead and draw two elongated U shapes on both sides of the triangle. Finally, draw thin, curved lines to create the numerous wisps of hair on her head.
Outfit her
Now that you have the body shape of your doll complete, it’s time to dress her up! As cute as Annabelle is, she’s historically dressed in a variety of different outfits. You can dress her however you like. Using your pencil and piece of paper, draw a long skirt, a scalloped collar dress, a faux-fur cloak, or a black dress with puffy sleeves. Don’t forget to add the distinctive white ruffle at her neck and draw a bow at the back of her neck.
Color In Annabelle
The final step is to bring her design to life by giving her a bright, vibrant color palette. Start with a eye shadow palette and grade in the eyes and her mouth area. Now move onto your chosen color palette. Use bright oranges, blues and reds to bring out her character. You can also add details such as white ruffles and yellow buttons on her dress. Finally, give the hair a gradient of yellow and white shades for an extra touch of the creepy realistic look.
accessories and Embellishments
To finish off the look, you can add a range of accessories and embellishments to make your Annabelle unique. Why not add a brooch to the dress or a big red flower at the waist? You could also give her a pair of adorable shoes or a bow in her hair. Add some rosy cheeks with a blush brush, and voila – your quirky Annabelle is all ready to be unleashed!
